Dental Laser Treatment

At Waterford Perio, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art dental laser technology that transforms the way gum disease is treated—making it more precise, minimally invasive, and comfortable for patients. We utilize the PerioLase® MVP-7 dental laser, specifically designed for soft tissue procedures, to deliver two advanced protocols: the LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) and the LAPIP® (Laser-Assisted Peri-Implantitis Protocol).

These FDA-cleared treatments are designed to selectively target infected gum tissue and harmful bacteria without damaging healthy tissue. Unlike traditional surgery, the laser gently removes diseased tissue while stimulating the body’s natural healing response, encouraging bone regeneration and reattachment of gums to the teeth or implants.

• The LANAP® Protocol is ideal for patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis, offering an effective alternative to traditional flap surgery.

• The LAPIP® Protocol focuses on treating peri-implantitis, a condition affecting the tissue and bone around dental implants, helping to save implants that might otherwise be lost.

This modern, patient-friendly approach results in less pain, minimal bleeding, faster recovery, and long-term periodontal stability.

We are also proud to share that Dr. Melissa Lee is the first and only certified LANAP® and LAPIP® provider in the region, setting a new standard for periodontal care in Waterford and beyond. Her expertise, combined with cutting-edge technology, ensures that patients receive the highest level of care in a comfortable, compassionate environment.
